Lunch with a View

by Kimberly Inlander

Sep 22, 2017

On my recent visit to Colorado Springs, Colo., I revisited the 5-star Broadmoor. In the past, I’ve stayed at the hotel, dined in a few of its restaurants and luxuriated at the spa, but on my most recent visit, I had lunch at 1858, located at Seven Falls.

Seven Falls is one of the area’s natural wonders, a series of waterfalls in a 1,250-foot-wall box canyon. Visitors can climb 224 steps to the hiking trails and banks of streams that feed the 181-foot waterfall drop, or stay on lower ground and take in picturesque rock formations and stunning vistas. Seven Falls is the only waterfall in Colorado to earn a spot on National Geographic’s list of international waterfalls.

The Broadmoor built Restaurant 1858 at the banks of Seven Falls, serving lunch and dinner. The rustic setting — it felt Western to me, but also warm, like a ski lodge in winter — includes reclaimed wood and hand-hewn stone and complements the authentic Colorado cuisine on the menu, crafted by chef de cuisine Mario Viguie. The menus change with the seasons and feature ingredients from local providers.

The menu was full of delicious options; we started with the 1858 BBQ Glazed, Hickory Smoked Bacon Wrapped Shrimp — yum! I paired my meal with a local craft beer, while my friend opted for a signature lemonade mocktail. We ended up choosing the same entrée — the 1858 Chopped Salad.

We were both too full for dessert, so instead we ended our meal in another sweet way — with a view of the falls!
